What I favour: Anarcho-Communism.

What I favour

1.Complete
abolition of all systems of domination, of oppression, of privilege to be
replaced by a society guided by the principles of freedom,equality and
solidarity with respect for all beings . This requires the abolition of the
state and all it’s institutions, marriage, Patriarchy(which I include to mean
the gender binaryetc), White Supremacy,
Animal use and destruction of the Earth among other systems. Such a complete abolition of oppression
will require a complete transformation of society and a radical re-thinking of
how society is organised.

2.The revolution must come from below from the
grassroots and no where else. I am against dictatorship of the proletariat or
vanguards. Marxist-Leninism is in direct opposition to all I favour.

3.Grassroots
(direct?) democracy

4.worker
control via anarcho-syndicalism ending wage labour with an aim towards
abolition of the wage system and the end of all work except that which is
voluntarily done as required for the function of society.

5.I accept that full free communism may not be
possible straight away but I think it best to aim for a society of Anarcho-Communism – which will be a
stateless classless marketless moneyless society. Production and distribution based on need not on profit. Need meaning more than just basic subsistence needs but also psychological needs. The fullest possible development of individuals and society's potential. An end to consumerism once and for all.

6.Anarcho-Communism is I believe the best way to
achieve a Green Society. I am critical of Mutualism and Individualist anarchism.

7.I accept other forms of anarchism will be tried
and will I may disagree with them I accept them in the spirit of toleration as
long as they do not make use of oppression or exploitation, formal or informal
, systematic or institutional.

8.I claim no right to give a blueprint of the
future society. it is neither democratic to do so nor I am no prophet and so I cannot predict the future. This is what I favour only and I would not force it on others.

Anarchy will be unlikely to come in my lifetime. It will take years of preparation maybe decades maybe centuries.
